Sold

Hardcover. First edition. Small octavo. Pictorial flexible card boards. 61pp. Old faint tide-mark to lower margin of first approximately 10 leaves, else a nicely preserved very good or better copy in original, unprinted dustwrapper, slightly chipped at margins. Brief epistolary novel recounting the adventures, romantic and otherwise, of a pair of young American girls in the Roaring Twenties, written in a sort of exaggerated flapper patois that is a hybrid of Damon Runyon and Hedda Hopper. Rare. Not in *Smith*; no copies located in *OCLC*. The author is presumably not the same DeWitt Parker who authored, between 1910 and 1950, a series of distinguished treatises on esthetics and metaphysics.
